Part Six: Things Worked Out Differently

Oct 11, 2018

Overview

In an alternate reality of present day Israel, a Haredi wheeler-dealer named Broide makes his living smuggling minor contraband between the secular “State of Israel” and the ultra-Orthodox “Haredi Autonomy” in Jerusalem. One day he receives a life-changing job offer: kidnap a little girl at the heart of a custody battle between two families - one Haredi and one secular.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Created during peak Israeli debates over Haredi military exemption and autonomy — the 'what if' landed uncomfortably close to real headlines.

Trivia

Shuli Rand, who plays the Rebbe, is himself a former secular actor who became Haredi — casting that blurs the fiction/reality line the whole series walks.
